RRU Open Course Ecosystem

Overview:

The majority of MACAL courses use a variety of online tools and platforms that are part of the Royal Roads Open Course Ecosystem. The main components are:

• WordPress for the course sites
• A companion Moodle shell primarily for the course grade book and assignment uploads although some courses may use other tools as appropriate.
• Your student personal WebSpace powered by WordPress site. This is a home for your learning journey in the MACAL courses, and you can customize it to meet your needs and reflect your style.

You will be provided with a link to your personal WordPress site prior to your first MACAL course. All students taking MACAL courses will receive the same toolset so it is important that you spend time fully immersing yourself in the environment and creating your blog prior to the course start date. Tutorials for customization and personalization will be provided on your personal WordPress site when you receive the first instance.
